I have known Lance since elementary school and we had many classes together through high school. I am so sad and shocked to hear about his passing. I just so happen to be looking in the obituary section of the Sunday Pioneer Press and I couldn't believe my eyes. Lance was a nice, funny, smart, and down to earth kind of guy. Thats how I remember him and always will.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time.
Sincerely, Amanda Lunzer (SSP)

I only met Lance last April, shortly before his return to active duty, as with all military losses, he was much too young with a vast future ahead of him. My condolences on your loss.

I only meet him twice, he was dating my sister-in-law. Seemed like a nice kid, as a US Marine I had a lot of respect and admiration for Lance to have served in the Army during a time of war. I will always remember him as a good person.
